We Are Strata Compliance Experts
All strata schemes need expert compliance management to ensure they meet the legal, financial and regulatory obligations of all relevant New South Wales legislation and strata acts. At ASSM we are strata compliance experts.
Building compliance is essential to safety and enjoyment
The requirements for owners corporations to ensure building compliance have advanced significantly over the years. The safety of the building is of utmost consideration within residential, community and neighbourhood, commercial and industrial strata schemes. At ASSM we are strata compliance experts with a comprehensive knowledge of the Strata Schemes Management Act – 2015.
Our strata managers offer detailed advice and guidance when it comes to assurance of the buildings, common areas and other associated compliance requirements.
Who is responsible? It can be complicated.
No two strata schemes are the same. Most have their own set of by-laws and, depending on the building’s history and previous renovations, determining what is and is not regarded as common property can be complicated.
Owners corporations must act dutifully and legally at all times, and without up-to-date knowledge, owners may find themselves unwittingly exposed.
It is the experience and expertise of ASSM’s team that ensure we keep all members of the owners corporation informed of their obligations and protected under the Strata Schemes Management Act – 2015.
Interpreting the acts
There are a number of strata and community management laws in New South Wales. Owners corporations and community associations have significant compliance responsibilities under this legislation, and the requirements can often be complex.
The primary legislation governing strata and community schemes in New South Wales includes:
- Strata Schemes Management Act 2015
- Strata Schemes Development Act 2015
- Strata Schemes Management Regulation 2016
- Strata Schemes Management Amendment (Sustainability Infrastructure) Act 2021
- Community Land Management Act 2021
- Community Land Development Act 2021
- Community Land Management Regulation 2021
We help ensure our clients meet their legislative obligations with confidence, supported by professional advice and practical compliance support.
Don’t get caught out
Some owners corporations endeavour to self-manage the strata scheme. Whilst this can be a successful strategy when there is a sufficient level of management expertise existing within an executive, more often than not the expertise does not extend to the technicalities of compliance and obligation requirements. Issues including building maintenance, repairs and compliances, fire and safety regulations, dispute handling, levy collection, AGM, insurance and financial management can become overwhelming.

FAQs
What are strata compliance experts?
Strata compliance experts specialise in ensuring your strata scheme meets all legal, regulatory and safety obligations under relevant strata management acts and regulations, including building, fire safety, insurance, by-laws and reporting requirements.
What compliance areas do strata experts cover?
They typically handle legislative interpretation (e.g., Strata Schemes Management Act), safety compliance (like fire & WHS requirements), by-law reviews, meeting & record-keeping obligations, insurance and capital works forecast compliance.
Who is responsible for strata compliance?
The owners’ corporation (or body corporate) holds ultimate responsibility, but they can appoint strata compliance experts or managers to execute those duties and help interpret legal obligations on their behalf.
Why do I need a strata compliance expert?
Compliance requirements are complex and always changing. Experts help reduce legal risk, ensure safety standards are met, manage paperwork and avoid penalties that can arise from missed inspections, outdated by-laws, or incorrect documentation.
How often should strata compliance be reviewed?
Compliance reviews should be done regularly, especially before AGMs, after legislative changes, or when there are major building works or safety concerns — often at least annually or as required by law/regulations.
Can strata compliance experts help with dispute resolution?
Yes — beyond technical compliance tasks, many experts assist with interpreting by-laws, advising on disputes between owners/committee members and guiding processes so outcomes align with legislation.
